Welcome Welcome to our blog about all kind of topics that are related to software development. We blog about:
SOA, BPM, EDA, ECM and all the other buzz words. Beware some post might not be so common as you think. We are not scared to go against main stream thoughts.
Technologies like java, maven, springframework, OSGi and front end technologies and frameworks like jQuery, DWR, Flex.
Finally to make this happen we need tools and of course a Mac (well some of us do). So we blog about that as well.
Linked in We now have a linked in group, join the group if you are a regular reader and want to see who else reads this blog.

Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) is an architectural style that makes a clear distinction between commands, which tell an application to do something, and queries, which are requests for information from an application. This distinction comes from the fact that the requirements (and thus also the model) for the execution and validation of commands are significantly different than those for queries. Events play an important role in the synchronization of application state resulting from executed command.
Applying a CQRS style architecture involves the development of quite a lot of “plumbing” code: event dispatching, asynchronous event processing, transactions, etc. cqrs4j, an Apache 2 licensed open source framework, takes care of all the plumbing for you. Read on to find out how…

Implementing an equals method in Java can be quite complicated. Fortunately there are numerous document around the web with useful tips, hints and frameworks to assist you in this process. However, an implementation of the equals method that is technically correct doesn’t have to make any sense functionally. In Domain Driven Design, your domain model implementation is the beating heart of your application. Everything has to make perfect (functional) sense in there. Having good equals methods is of vital importance there.
In this article, I will elaborate on some common pitfalls you can encounter when implementing the equals method, as well as some sensible guidelines.
